OOF that took a hit. Looks like you need pretty much everything on that corner. Axle, strut, lower A arm, steering knuckle, sway bar (looks bent), outer tie rod, brake hose, caliper. I would also examine the transaxle housing, while it pulled the axle out it would have damaged the seal and may have got the case bushing as well. Plus the rim and tire. Then the body pieces and paint. What I would do if it were mine is start stripping off the panels and the damaged parts. The big thing is to see if the subframe has any damage. If you have a good body shop nearby it might be a good idea to put it on the table to measure the pieces just to see any issues. You don't want to get it together just to discover that it cannot be aligned because it is bent.
Now as to the parts, most are simple bolt on items. I would not opt for aftermarket parts though, especially with the strut and steering knuckle. While there are good ones out there it is getting very hard to say Brand X will be just fine. The data I have is for the US version so the steering rack is reversed but the rest of the parts should be the same. The pieces circled are what looks to be ones you can keep, pretty much all the rest has to be replaced. Looking at the parts catalog I can find through BMW, there are pieces that you will likely need that are no longer available through BMW. So aftermarket or used may be your only option. I would look at getting the correct service information through BMW, they have an online system that you pay for access and then you can get the part numbers and real time parts availability for the right hand drive models.
This link is for folks outside the US to get to the tech system.
